The XGL4030 series of high-performance, molded power inductors offers up to 40% lower DCR than previous inductors as well as low ac losses. This improves overall efficiency over a range of ac ripple current. They are well-suited for dc-dc converters with switching frequencies ranging from hundreds of kHz to 5 MHz and above. The series features an expanded inductance range, including 18 values from 0.13 to 12 µH, with current ratings up to 26.5 Amps and soft saturation characteristics. It also offers a 30% increase in Irms self-heating current for cooler operation than previous-generation components.
